I like the elephant story and grew up on it. I try to remember there are many angles, but I can still only live my own. 😉 -OM

Hi ThatScribbler,
I know GP Cox, Sepultura, and of course, Jason Cushman.
Let me tell you why I came by today. I wrote the Twitter article from Jean’s site that Chris promoted, and I wanted to thank you for liking my article.
In response to your post: I teach world cultures to children. There are cultural stories in our book that impart those morals you speak of. Sometimes (often?) various cultures have the same story with minor differences like the mouse and the lion.
Interesting post from a cultural/historical perspective.

Thanks Janice for your time! It’s great to know about this from someone who is experienced in teaching cultures to children. You’re doing an awesome work. I’d always thought that these stories are similar around the globe and have travelled to different places one way or another and have been adapted to suit the needs of specific cultures. 🙂

Good stories. I always try to see things in more than one perspective. That often gives me new ideas and even more that two different perspectives. So I will continue to try seeing things in more than one way 🙂
